In my youth
My eyes beheld
Realities to the millions --
As my wisdom ripened
I saw them as three:
You, the world, and me

Still contemplating
I perceived
The world
From your radiance is but a ray
Leaving but two:
I, and You

I searched
The depths of my heart
And found my life
But a glitter of your light
And behold:
You are one alone
